Let’s take a quick look at redemption and see if we were told the truth or not. We will only consider Scriptural facts, for that is the only way the Creator gave us to discern the Truth.

Isaiah 52:4-10 4For thus said the Master YHWH, “At first My people went down into Mitsrayim(Egypt) to sojourn there, and Ashshur oppressed them without cause. 5“And now, what have I here,” declares YHWH, “that My people are taken away for naught? Those who rule over them make them wail,” declares YHWH, “and My Name is despised all day continually. 6“Therefore My people shall know My Name, in that day, for I am the One who is speaking. See, it is I.” 7How pleasant upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings good news, who proclaims deliverance, who says to Tsiyon, “Your Elohim reigns!” 8The voice of your watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they shout for joy, because eye to eye they see the return of YHWH to Tsiyon. 9Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Yerushalayim! For YHWH shall comfort His people, He shall redeem Yerushalayim. 10YHWH shall lay bare His set-apart arm in the eyes of all the nations.

The stronger one has been revealed: Babel. Again, physical.

Physical life.

Redeemed from physical death.

Physical deliverance from Babel.

Now let’s see what the New Testament teaches:

Galations 3:13Messiahredeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us – for it has been written,

What?? Never seen that in all Tanakh! Calling Torah a curse is blasphemy!

Galations 4:5 … to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.

Where did this come from? This is a totally different religion cursing the Torah and making its own rules!

Titus 2:14 … who gave Himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for Himself a people, His own possession, ardent for good works.

1Peter 1:18 knowing that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold,

Never in Tanakh did it say anything about being redeemed from lawlessness nor from our futile way of life.

Revelations 5:9 And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

Nobody gets redeemed BY BLOOD. In Tanakh it says our blood get’s redeemed (physical saving of life) – not by blood?! Psalms 72:14 our blood is precious in the eyes of YHWH. For more on the blood sacrifices and atonement for sin, see “The Trial”.

Revelations 14:3 And they sang a renewed song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders. And no one was able to learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemedfrom the earth.

What is this “redeemed from THE EARTH”? From where, since when? That is not what the Tanakh says!

Revelations 14:4 They are those who were not defiled with women, for they are maidens. They are those following the Lamb wherever He leads them on. They were redeemed from among men, being first-fruits to Elohim and to the Lamb.

I don’t think so…. It is not consistent with what the Torah and the rest of Tanakh teaches!

It is SO clear that the New Testament is a different religion altogether that was cleverly inter weaved with the Tanakh to make it seem as part of it, but with the technology that we have today, it is so easy to expose these false doctrines and see through the misconceptions.

The above dilemmas, mistakes and forgeries are only a tiny example of some of the flaws you will never be introduced to by missionaries and Christian leaders.
